Parquet Courts: You’ve Got Me Wonderin’ Now

The music we tweeted this week and the second installment of our #PrivateJam series

The four-piece band from New York has a raw punk sound that could easily have been found on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack; the recorder line on Parquet Courts’ newest single, “You’ve Got Me Wonderin’ Now,” is a resonating blast from the past. Parquet Courts has a knack for obtuse yet intriguing lyrics, and the mystery is further perpetuated by the band’s refusal to have a Twitter or Facebook account, choosing to interact with fans in their own ways. Although their album Light Up Gold was released only a year ago in August, they haven’t wasted a single moment while touring, and their new EP Tally All The Things That You Broke will be released 8 October 2013.
